	The Weapons:
1) Katana:  The medimum length Samuri Sword, Unbreakable when use edge on
	but shatters like glass if hit on the flat.  Never corrodes or
	needs sharpening.

2) Shriuken: "Ninja throwing star"  Very nasty.  Properly thrown they are
	deadly and then some.

3) Morning Star:  Take 12" of lead pipe, attach 5" of heavy chain to one
	end, attach a 3lb. spiked ball to the other end of the chain.
	In general it can also mean a spiked mace [i.e. delete the chain]

NEITHER 1 or 2 are implemented properly, in my opinion.  A katana should
have the damage capability of a two handed sword [or better] but no shields
allowed.  I would also add no throwing one wepon while weilding another.
